Re: Bobby Garrett
The chime lick at the end is Gold. Thanks for the post, now I know the name and he sounds great.
I think I hear him doing some Travis alternating bass under his melody here n there. Is there also any of that “thumb back stroke” in it too?

Re: Bobby Garrett
great song Chris... thanks for sharing!
Bobby's a legend and doesn't quite get the praise he deserves, I suppose he wasn't on nearly as many recordings as some of the other big names.
he certainly excelled at the thumb style!

Re: Bobby Garrett
Right, Scott. I still have a cassette player, but don't see Bobby's music on the forum shop.

Re: Bobby Garrett
He's on a lot of Gene Watson's recordings.
When I'm really impressed with the steel playing, I look at the credits and it's Bobby Garrett.

Re: Bobby Garrett
Sonny Garrish is probably who you're thinking of? He played on many of Gene Watson's hits.Erv Niehaus wrote: 10 Apr 2025 8:22 am He's on a lot of Gene Watson's recordings.
